Hello Monday! Here in Peru the holiday season is still until today, so it almost feels like a Sunday/Monday… Anyway, hope you had a great weekend…. As for me, I have to organize my to do list for this month and the next one, between new projects, new posts, new travels and many, many things you’ll sure see on the blog! So, I’ll just need some inspiration and a whole lot of caffeine to organize and plan things well!

In this outfit I used the Little Winter-White Dress (LWWD). What I love most about the LWWD is how different they make you look, during Fall or Winter Season, and I think that is what makes it trendier for me… Besides, the Western Booties with the golden studs, makes it look even cooler. Forget about the old, boring cliches about never using white in winter, white is a must this season and goes all the way to Summer-Spring 2014… Looks great in the day for BBQs and Family Meetings, aswell as for a meal out or even a first-date. It is sometimes good to change in fashion and opt for different sillhouetes, like changing your go-to body-con dres and go for something romantic and flowy. The bohemian twist will surely make an impression on everyone in a different and possitive way. Change is always a good option…

Hello there, these are some of my favorite stuff that I can´t live without!!! Indeed, I got a whole list (Santa Claus letter style)…. But most of these products have worked for me, terrific! So I want to share you all my Tips & Tricks, hope you enjoy and tell me if it has been good for you too!!!

1. BedHead by Tigi After Party Hair Cream: Just like the name says, After Party Cream, so anytime I have an event in the morning and don’t have much time to go to the hair-dresser, I use just a little amount of the product… and Voila! My hair looks good again, healthy and no frizz at all! I recommend you all this product!

2. Thermal Water Avène: This is like the top of the top product, you can use it to revitalize the skin and along with the moisturizing cream for face, it does wonders! I guarantee it! I have very dry skin, so it goes perfect with me because my face looks beautiful & healthy. I have a mini version that I can take to travels in my purse, it refreshes my skin in a second…. Mostly those days when it’s too hot and you don’t want to ruin your makeup, here’s THE tip: use it after makeup and you’ll notice the difference. It makes it stay longer and keep your gorgeous skin always radiant.

3. Multivitamínicos: No sé por qué pero me siento una anciana recomendando multivitamínicos. Pero estos realmente ayudaron muchísimo a mi piel, pelo y uñas. A veces el cuerpo necesita vitaminas que por una mala alimentación o por la falta de las mismas vitaminas en algunos alimentos, hacen que careciéramos de ellas, y no lo digo sólo para la belleza corporal, sino tambien para la interior, para los organos internos que necesitan de estos nutrientes y así no sufrir de enfermedades en el futuro. Estas vitaminas son buenísimas para la piel y sobretodo el pelo! Sí, ayuda a que crezca más rápido y sano, quién no quiere hoy en día tener un pelo lindo? Bueno, este es un super tip que no deberían pasar por alto!!3. Multivitamins: I don’t know why, but anytime I here that word, it makes me remember of my grandma. Though, she was right, the best multivitamin that has worked for me is the one for Hair, Nails and Skin, and since then I take one every day. It’s important that you know that some vitamins aren’t in food only, some have to be treated so they can achieve better qualities to what you are looking for. Not only for beauty, but it’s really good for preventing diseases that may happen when we all get older… so be precautious!

4. My Fashion Book Collection: Though there are very good ones, I’ll name my top three that changed my entire way of thinking. The first would be”I Love Your Style” by Amanda Brooks; on second place: “Parisian Chic” by Ines de la Fressange & Sophie Gachet ;& finally: “Style A to Zoe” by Rachel Zoe & Rose Apodaca. Those 3 books are a necessity if you are in the wold of Fashion, so, make always space to learn, because haven’t you realized that there’s a constant learning in life… like Steve Jobs said: “Stay foolish, Stay hungry.”

5. Mario Testino, my Vogue Collection & the Best Perfume of all: For me, Mario Testino is more than a photographer, he’s the leading person in photography in the world, he’s an entrepreneur, a man of vision, he created the movement of photography in Peru, and that really makes me proud. The book is luxe for the eyes, is simply every detail, every little thing in his art, makes all the difference. I think everytime I look at that book it makes me go back to the era, to the scenery or to the place he wants to take people and feel the art. On the other hand, next to it there is my Vogue Collection, which I’m collecting since I was a child (really), and I read with admiration all the September Issues and just that, well, it makes me happpy. Finally, the best perfume of all, the Dolce & Gabanna N. 3: L’Emperatrice. It’s very sweet, but maybe every perfume has to say something about you, the idea is to find the right perfume that goes perfect with your personality and your attitude about life.

You can’t imagine how I love the bohemian look… I don’t know if I’ve lived in the 70’s in a parallel world, in this movement these people developed countercultural values and a completely opposite perception of the world, with their “Peace & Love” motto, they changed the way people lived, they changed customs and lifestyles of the entire world…. However, there was something that changed with it, quiet and unnoticed: Fashion. Nowadays, the bohemian look has evolved in different ways, and you can see someone using vintage pieces with a last season Hermes.. Anyway, in this outfit, we tried something cool, like for a pool party or for the beach, so we chose as a classic piece: my fave high-waisted shorts and a trikini…. I love how cool they both look together, it’s just like a bodysuit, just much more comfortable and on top of all: waterproof! We accessorized them with a Brigitte Bardot-inspired headband scarf, that is really easy to knot…. and with the aviator sunglasses…. I just needed a Jimi Hendrix song and I was back in time!

To make the outfit more autumn-like, but, without changing the Bohemian style, my favorite piece is a fur vest, it’s so versatile and cozy at the same time! Anyway, this is I think one of my top 5 outfits, it’s bohemian, cool, and looks pretty on eveyone! Don’t forget to always accessorize it in the right way, because, you’ll either look like from a Halloween Party or nobody will notice the details… So play with yout clothes as if you were a child again, mix & match without ever feeling like it’s not your thing, because if it’s not…. then what’s the fun in that?

Un super beso!!!… Qué tal vista no??? /// What a view!!!! What do you think? XL xxx to all!

Hello my dearest and wonderful readers, today’s my so expected birthday!! So I hope this day is full of happinesss and cool surprises for you! I’ll share you my Instagram Updates and Mobile Uploads to The Art Sartorialist’s Facebook Page.. so you can live my birthday with me! I also hope to have been an inspiration to all of you, because for me it has been a wonderful experience that I want to keep sharing with you all.

In this outfit I’m wearing a BCBGeneration jeans and yellow mustard sweater. I love the fit that the brand has on jeans, it’s so difficult to find a good fitting nowadays, so here you have one of my new favorite brands! Also, I love the bicolor sweater that is 1st: very comfy and 2nd: looks cool, so I develop a new word in my Fashion Vocabulary: “Comfy Coolness”. For shoes, I wore nude pumps (love the thick heel…), and finally accesories, my loved black bowler hat (Charles Chaplin way) and the most cozy gloves in the world from the brand KUNA (already in my BirthdayWishlist). The camel in the gloves combines very well with the shoes and the sweater, makes them pop out the color so well, I love the combination!!! This oufit is perfect for a lunch, brunch, breakfast or simply a gettogether with your friends: comfy but still looking trés chic!

Thanks to all the crew that has always been helping me through all this time since I opened the blog. Thank you very much to all my followers and to all my friends, really, THANK YOU!!! I´ll assure you I´ll have a great birthday and keep you all in my heart!

Lost in the misty road ahead, we could see the magnificent scenery every feet ahead. We found this amazing hill, with the best view, you could see lots of mountains that seemed enlessly, and finally the sea. Though there were sometimes that the sun peeked out and the fog cleared our way, the view of the valley was artistically put, it almost looked like a Van Gogh painting, surrealistically beautiful. Anyway, the coolest part was when an American Kestrel stepped in a tree really near us, pity it flew away and I couldn’t even take a snapshot… Anyway, eventhough the fog and the cold weahter almost freezed my entire body, it came to me like a flashback…. those times when we usually go out, clubbing, bar hopping, and we don’t know what to wear… Well, here’s my best option…

Definitely, the Herve-inspired skirt was the main character of the scene, it will surely steal sights from anyone (yes, including women). The golden body-con skirt mixed with a “Whole Black” outfit, makes the color pop out, making the outfit even more glamorous. We combined with a very thick-but-light black & brown scarf (baby alpaca, I love you), thick winter tights, a classic black bodysuit and finally my dearest black floppy hat… I think this outfit screams for a “Girls night out” or maybe more like a “Girls just wanna have fun”, perfect for this weekend ahead, right? What do you think?

And the weekend is almost peeking in and how fast has this week passed by! My plans for this weekend are countless.. I’m full of photoshoots, new roadtrips and some tourism inside Lima… A friend of mine has come from Chile and I need to take him out and show him that the real good Pisco is originally from Peru! There have been many theories that Pisco is from Chile, but I still think it’s just good marketing, Pisco is from Peru, from the region called Pisco. Anyway, here it’s so cold I just want to lay in bed and go out with my goose down jacket… in which I look almost like a large feathered pillow…

In this outfit I used a tribal maxi-skirt with a black blouse (tip: always buttoned up to the top so it looks trendier) and the cherry on top was that I mixed it up with a black winter floppy hat. Happy with the final result, I think this look is perfect becuase of the comfy-boho-chic style that I love so much. It’s casual for a date as for a day out… I like the cool vibe a floppy hat gives to any outfit… I think it has its own personality and gives you attitude with a plus of cool personal style.

We celebrated the new launch of BCBGeneration here in Peru, the brand gave a party this past Friday that was nothing but fun! I think the whole idea of the party was just the same as the brand concept: fun, eclectic, modern, spontaneous and finally, with a lot of attitude. Always a setter, never a follower. Some days indie, some days preppy, some days vintage, it all depends on her mood. That’s the personality of a BCBGeneration girl. That’s why we made this post, celebrating our freedom of having the opportunity to choose who you want to be or which style you want to wear. The most important thing in life is to be yourself, individuality… and that’s what I’m talking about: your own and unique personal style.

For this outfit we chose aqua color tones, mixed with soft orange and purples, the combination with the top was perfect! As it was practically the same color of the poncho. I loved how the whole outfit looked, it looked adventurous and ready for fun! I like wearing bright colors such as this one because it makes me feel happier…. Finally! My recommendation: Wear always something bright on the top and slow down and go for neutral tones for the bottom, that is the key to get the perfect color balance to any look!

Besos Extra Grandes!!!! Y tengan un lindo inicio de semana!!! XL xxx from the other side of the world!!! Have a great beginning of the week!

I wanted something different for my nails, so I was at the OPI Store & Nails in Larcomar, and I wanted something creative, different to the old-boring french manicure. For these nails they used 3 colors: Nude, Black and Metallic PurpleBlue.

Do you remember the Post Garden of Eden??? Well, it was taken in the same place we did this photoshoot, a place called Lomas de Lachay, 4 hours from Lima. This national reserve is known for its famous ecosystem and micro-climates, besides the unique flora and fauna that you can see there. The most common thing in this scenary of infinite woods, is that the trees grow lopsided, making it an absolutely amazing landscape to watch. Though it has its foggy season, it’s pretty incredible to watch such different and unique species living in the same environment, in the same place where our ancestors used to live. Anyway, as you can see, the misty, foggy, cold climate makes it more mysterious, thanks to the Baby Alpaca (kind of wool) dress I chose for the outfit, it saved me from dying from the chill. The fact of mixing new silhouettes and materials, are a real challenge for the designer department. But this KUNA dress, mixed with some winter tights, boots and a statement necklace such as the one I have in the pictures below, makes the perfect outfit for a night out. I think it’s difficult to find cool clothes for winter (as we all dress alike trying to keep away the cold), the art in this style was the main character in this misty and at the same time chilly scenery.

It’s so fun to get away from the city and go roadtripping somewhere else… Go out with your best friends, boyfriend, and spending quality time living the experience of being adventurous and going off road, definitely doesn’t have a price tag. This photoshoot was about that, but truly our intention was to make it look fun while I was getting lost, hitchhiking anywhere in the world. I don’t like when some people see the glass half empty, I always see it half full. So, this is my advice to all, always, always, have backup plans: a, b, c, may not have worked, but you have all the alphabet left, so, be precaucious and don’t go just somewhere without all the gear you should take. Anyway, in this post I wore a long sleeve maxi dress (love the cool granny’s elbow patches), a knitted+fur vest, my Charles Chaplin hat and the coolest shoes in the world: my burgundy booties. People have already asked how to combine booties…. My advice to all is that they combine perfectly with everything, from shorts, maxidresses, jeans, a jumpsuit….. absolutely anything. So it’s a key piece in your wardrobe for fall aswell as winter. If you want to look slimmer and get longer legs in a second, use it with a monochromatic palette, an example is using tights in the same color of the booties (the darker, the better). So…. just like roadtrips, you should have fun with shoes, that’s why I chose the burgundy color for the booties, that combined with the fur vest and the bowler hat, reinvented the maxi dress in a cool, comfy, fashion, hipsterly way…
